"In a statement, the pub said: Over the past few months, we've received feedback from customers regarding children in the pub. We want The William the Fourth to be welcoming to everyone, but there have been occasions where the pub has resembled a creche. Unsupervised children can pose risks not only to themselves but also to other customers and our team."
"Two London pubs have taken a stance against disruptive behaviour from children following complaints from customers that the venues had begun to resemble a creche. The William the Fourth in Leyton has banned children after 7pm in a bid to curb unruly behaviour, with staff also cracking down on disruptions during the daytime. The pub said there had been accidents involving children, with some parents blaming the venue rather than supervising their little ones."
"Children must remain seated at a table with their parents and be supervised at all times a policy the pub said has always been in place. They will also not be allowed to run around, climb, or play inside the venue. The new rules came into force today, making the pub an adults-only space from 7pm onwards. The move has proved somewhat controversial, with comments on the pub's social media announcement switched off."
Two London pubs have responded to customer complaints about disruptive children by tightening rules. The William the Fourth in Leyton has banned children after 7pm and enforced daytime supervision requirements. Children must remain seated with parents, be supervised at all times, and are not allowed to run, climb, or play inside. The pub cited feedback about the venue resembling a creche and incidents where children were injured and parents blamed the venue. The pub will open from 3pm next week to extend daytime family hours and says it remains family-friendly during the day. The change has generated controversy online.
